"Breakaway" - Kelly Clarkson
Book Meme:
1. Take five (random!) books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph:
(1) Sometimes it seems like all I ever do is lie. (2) Even so, it was the best idea she'd heard so far. (3) "Do you get used to it Commander?" Kel asked. (4) Still, however, affection was glad to catch at any reasonable excuse for not hurrying on the wretched moment. (5) I smile slightly, looking toward the sky, knowing there's one thing I still haven't told you: I now believe, by the way, that miracles can happen.
